Job Choice #1


*KSNF-TV, Joplin, MO
*Morning Show Co-Anchor, seeks a morning show co-anchor who can bring a sparking on-camera presence and interview skills to the show, and can interact well with the other co-anchor and forecaster
*145 *Jim Jackson
* I would definitely be willing to move for this job. I would still get to be in Missouri, and I love Joplin. Of my three jobs this is the one I’m least likely to get, but it’s most like what I want to do. I think this job would challenge me everyday and just be a lot of fun. I have no problem getting up super early, and I would much rather anchor than be a reporter.

Job Choice #2

*WORF-TV, Rockford, IL
*GA reporter/fill-in anchor, seek a GA reporter/fill-in anchor who is aggressive, is creative, is highly motivated, loves to break local news stories, comes to the table with story ideas daily, is a team player, can handle the pressures of deadlines and breaking news in a competitive fashion; must be able to go live, with experience is a plus
*132
*Kent Harrell
*I would be willing to move to Illinois since it is not too far away from my family. I like this job because you get to be a fill-in anchor as well as a reporter. I like that I would be able to go live and break local news. I think it would be fun to move somewhere new and find out what they find important in their news.

Job Choice #3


*KCAU-TV, Sioux City, IA
*Reporter/videographer, who can do it all, is eager to learn and has a good attitude; fluency in Spanish and English a plus
*143
*Carla Kreegar
*I would be willing but not too eager to move for this job. It’s still near my family, but I’m not too fond of Iowa. Hopefully it would only be a temporary location. This job caught my attention because in the job description it said, “eager to learn” which I think describes me a lot. I don’t know everything yet, but I would love to have a job that gave me the chance to learn and become better as a worked. I like this job because it says you will do it all, and I like to have variety in my life. I may not be able to speak Spanish, but I do offer a few other languages that might appeal to them.
